.....Rois
Within the beauty of the plains of Turia, grew a young Woman, Free and strong. With the heart of the wind, she dreamed of the unknown. Meeting a traveller named Grett, their love sprung from curiosity and their similar affection of the miseries of Gor. Barely able to meet the bride price of the young Woman, both Grett, and the Woman named Tekesh set off to the unknown wilderness beyond the plains as Free Companions to find their fortune. As time progressed, Tekesh grew ill, and homesick for the plains she loved so much as their travels found them more North. Nearing the time of delivery, Tekesh's illness was worsening.
On the 4th passage of Camerius, Gor gave a life and in turn, took a life. Tekesh, Free Companion to Grett, died in labour while birthing a baby girl. Grett was uncertain what to do with the newborn infant. Finding it difficult to care for such a demanding task, Grett enslaved a Free Woman, whom he found wandering lost, named dessera. dessera begged her new Master to name the infant, as Grett had not. Receiving permission, the new slave named the infant Rois, meaning rose and forever loves.
dessera cared for the infant like it was her own, and mostly raising the infant as they traveled. Rois grew into a loving and caring person and seeing little of her Father, never learned of the resentment he had for her for growing much like her Mother both physical and in spirit. Being a former Free Woman herself, dessera taught the young girl many ways of being a respectable Free; dessera also taught her in the ways of expression through painting. Growing up strong and proud, as well as carrying many of her Mothers qualities for her curiousness and love of the unknown, Rois was also growing as a painful memory to her Father as well as a burden. As Grett only wanted to settle into a quiet life with dessera, and forget all ties to his Life mate, Tekesh, he left Rois to the wilds of Gor... to pursue with only a few provisions and a young, spirited dark rust kailla stallion named Ceiesk. Grett, finding Citizenship in Tor took dessera and was never heard from again.
Rois travelled farther north to seek the wilder beauties of Gor. Meeting friends, and learning many skills, such as sewing and woodcarving, she pursued her love of art, as she recorded her life through the canvas she carried.
Travelling past many great cities, always weary of entering and taking refuge in friendly caravans as She worked for food and lodging, painting, carving, cleaning and mending. Taking her leave of the hospitable Caravans, she ventured to Port Lydius, to seek adventure upon the Thassa.
Having little money to pay her way aboard a ship, instead she worked her way across the Thassa, painting the sail, and carving the mast. Leaving the ship, Rois found herself with a sense of Family from the respectable crew, she found herself wanting a home of her own.
When docking in the Fjord seeking repairs and supplies, Rois found herself welcomed by the friendly atmosphere of Vanir’s. When it came time for the “Wind of the Thassa” to depart, Rois decided to stay in the Fjord, and settle into a quieter role of Vanir’s Artisan. Shortly after settling in, Rois met, and fell in love with a sea bearing, axe-wielding Warrior, by the name of Einar Coldmountain, and on the tenth eta of Hesius they were joined in Free Companionship. Hardly ever seen without a smile upon her face, and a kind word to give, Rois feels more complete than ever, and enjoys her life with Einar in the Fjord with her Family.
